Dependencies are out of date

Looks like Facebook deprecated JSTransform and react-tools in June. It's being replaced by Babel, which is probably for the better.

I'm not sure pulling babel in as a dependency is ideal, because all that we're using from react-tools is the displayname transform :\
I was just doing some spring winter break cleaning of issue's I'm following and I noticed that recently you removed jstransform with coffee-react-transform. I looked at it on npm, but it didn't have any documentation.
Was that done to address this issue? (It's hard to tell without knowing what coffee-react-jstransform is!)
Not much. It's still using jstransform, I've just vendored it into the new package. Literally all it is used for is one tiny syntax transform on the JS output of the Coffeescript compiler (to add in the displayName property). The output of the CS compiler hopefully a fairly stable target, as it aims to keep support for some fairly legacy browsers. Until there are actual demonstrable problems with using jstransform I'd rather do that than pull in Babel for this one very small thing.
